went to my dealers today to check on delivery of my works mcs and he said they had a 05 works kit in stock an it worked out about £30 cheaper than the old one. Maybe something to do with the same supercharger?

...where´s the any-key?

I've got to add to this, I've just spoken to Chris at JCG and there is no (official BMW approved) Works 210bhp kit. They are in talks with BMW to provide an upgrade to the 170bhp MCS but in his own words these things take a long time as they have to go through the full BMW approval process. They expect the changes will not differ to the major components currently replace i.e. Head, supercharger and exhaust. They will be software changes and they should be available to existing JCW owners. JCG intend on writing to owners of cars that they have upgraded, advising them when the upgrade becomes available but we are talking months away.

Question:I understand about the cylinder core charge.
But, why are the changing the supercharger, The new 2005 has the same coating on the SP. I thought as JCW .
It would not seem that they are not putting on a new designed supercharger. Just the same as last year. Which is the same as the one you have right now.
Also is there a core charge for that also. If no take the supercharger back. Big market for them.
Where have I gone wrong in my thinking? I shoot from the hip Old western expression.
